“Father’s Day” by ONEFOUR is a raw and emotional reflection on broken homes, absent fathers, and the impact of generational trauma. Over a moody, introspective beat, the group opens up about growing up without strong father figures, becoming men on their own terms, and the pain that shaped their ide...
[Chorus: J Emz]
Too many sons in this rap game
Shit, I feel old with this back pain
'Cause there was no love when we came up
Then we blew up and all that changed
Might as well call that a catch phrase
How many changed and they switched up?
Fuck-boys can't stay in their lane
So they'll do anything just to stay in the picture
[Verse 1: J Emz]
Back from the dead, nah, I'm back from the road
Pressing the subject that matters the most
They say we came in this game and we left
That ain't no different from telling a joke
We're the real reason you're selling out shows
Expecting so much when you ain't even blow
I don't want nothing from none of these pussies
See, I've only come back for what I am owed
Created jobs for the jobless
Not one "thank you", calm, that's normal (That's normal)
We can't expect much from the ones we created
I told bro, "Chill, they're mortal"
Opened up doors that could not be opened, more like created portals
With our own independence, didn't let none of these labels here extort us
All love to my sons and daughters, playing this game like it's Russian roulette
To my upcoming queens, take this as a bouquet
And don't worry, boys, I ain't forsaken you yet
I ain't gonna bitch 'cause it's standard to trip
We started this shit, now the candles are lit
Even though I would rather put bands on a brick
I'm a man of my word so I stand on my shit
[Verse 2: Spenny]
I'm a man of my word so I stand on my shit, yeah (Ayy)
I'm a man of my word so I stand on my shit, gang (Gang)
Came in saving the scene from the edge of the cliff
'Cause all'd've fell through if we weren't in the mix
Trendsetters, it's over at 6
I'm just stating the facts, I ain't taking the piss
Went from shanks and shivs to Glocks and Lugers
Think it's time we address the rumours
I am not the one, but one to prove it
So it's best you don't be acting stupid, ayy
Onefour got tonnes of shooters
We been the rudest, no puns included
In school, I weren't the brightest student
Now look at everything we've done for music
It's that big S-P-E-N-N-Y
Since a teenager, I would scuffle and fight
Now I'm grown up, big shotgun shells on drills
Broad day like Bonnie and Clyde
We at the top and they can't deny that
We be the fathers of this whole scene
I'm at my peak and I'm 'bout to climax
Say what you want, but we the OGs
[Chorus: J Emz]
Too many sons in this rap game
Shit, I feel old with this back pain
'Cause there was no love when we came up
Then we blew up and all that changed
Might as well call that a catch phrase
How many changed and they switched up?
Fuck-boys can't stay in their lane
So they'll do anything just to stay in the picture

J Emz:
Musically, we’ve started listening to grime, so that was a style that we wanted to show our fanbase we can slide on. I feel like the name ‘Father’s Day’ speaks for itself—it was time to let people know where we were coming from on that track. I don’t really got to explain too much.
